Happy liberty day folks.
For the people who never left-
And for the people putting back on their capes..
:)
i don't even know what happened, i just barely got the game cuz im poor and i feel like i've missed out on everything 😭
@AndrewBuhler trust me, it was a big thing but its better to be past it than before it. You're here while we're all having fun man.
@@Stolskai okay cool cool :)
What did liberty day add I was on vacation when it happened
That hug ;-; right in the feels
I'm not crying tears of Managed Democracy, YOU'RE crying tears of Managed Democracy!
NUH UH YOU ARE@@panachevitz
No BOTH of you are!
@@lone-knight-k5nno we are! Our tears are just free, we’re not crying!
This HellDiver has a lump in his throat….FOR SUPER EARTH! 🥹

It was intense defending from the jet brigade but I’ve seen a lot of players sporting malevolon creek capes and seeing 40k players on the not front was truly epic.
I always wear that cape to remember what they did and what we did
Only cape I wear. I was there for Malevolon
I took a hiatus from the game when the nerfs hit, but it feels good to be back. Tried some other games (mostly Destiny 2) but nothing quite scratches that itch quite like Helldivers
It's good to be back
@@shayminthedoctor9663 yeah seriously
I dont got that cape :c
I came in after the Creek, right before the EoF. Maybe it was because I didn't know anything different, but this it was still the most fun I have ever had with a game. Then the buffs hit and made a game I loved even better. Riding the high rn.
I love how the Chaos Divers went from Traitors to literally Black Shields of the Deathwatch with the new Warbond
...Chaosdivers were never traitors. They just didn't follow direct major orders and focused on doing OTHER missions outside of the Current Major Order.
For those who claimed "We are chaosdivers" and proceed to make loyalist diver missions a living heck such as calling stratagems on the LZs, those are NOT Chaos Divers, those are Grief Divers and Trolldivers claiming to be ChaosDivers... While they have their fingers crossed behind their capes.
@@Victor-056 You Cringedivers will never admit your dumb protest with the state of the game lead to an uptick in trolling and griefing.
Chaosdivers are more like the black templers from 40k
Remember that us Chaosdivers want the bots and bugs dead just as much as any loyalist wants them dead. While you guys work on your major orders, we’ll do our part to fill in the gaps on the other planets. We’ll make sure any loyalist fighting along side us makes it back in one piece. We are not the enemy.
it was actually confirmed that some one sabotaged our weapons so yeah WE WERE RIGHT
I don't think I've ever seen a game make such a dramatic change with a single patch, let alone 2-3.
I'm very impressed and really enjoy the state of the game
This game is a hell of a ride and I'm loving it
It might not have been as fast, but No Man's Sky managed a solid turn around.
@@Dolbsha yeah, but years to turn it around is silly.
You must be playing a different game then I've been playing then. At level 10 it's become stupid. They spawn entire patrols literally meters away and you're supposed to be able to fight them or the drop ships glitch and they don't stop coming. You end up having to fight never ending drops of bots. It's really stupid, really fast. Plus my character glitches all the time, the amount of time's I've been shot into the sky or stuck in a never ending rag doll falling animation because I tripped on a pebble. The game is a mess still and the paywall for new content is and always will be a bad idea.
@AsttoScott then quit.
I love how all helldivers speak 'Freedom' as a language.
It just goes to show how much they all value it.
Taking ot away will have very dire results.
Also loved the details of Discord and reddid as building buing rebuilt!

Me: took a 2 months break from the game because of all the nerfs
My friend: shows me the most recent patch notes
"So, you ready to go back out there cowboy ?"
Me: *Hell, it's about time*
"I can still throw down with the best of them."
I was one of the 7k Helldivers left during the darkest of time, where there were more botdivers than bugdivers. During that time, fighting against the bots were easier than the bugs due to them having more weakspots and we have more viable weapons against them bots.
The bots front now is even better with more buffed weapons and nerfed enemy units, sweet liberty.

Was with you all the way
2:53 Onward is so peak. The monologue, the music, the scene. IT IS CINEMA!!
Now imagin if it had buget

You have captured what I have watched happen with the patch notes, and I hope that said patches, and what you have crafted here, both help inspire the players in the way you portray!
Part 1 had better animation and more impact. It really was a cry for help for arrowhead to stop terfing.
This js not bad and the overall story of the redemption of hd2 is amazing but the animation here is wors
Freedom
The illuminate are here
yes they are. it might be time for me to get back in the mines
This captures how things went and felt rather perfectly. It felt like a family torn apart, and then brought back together again. I hope everyone had a great Liberty Day!
I was there during every single day of the nerfs, it was a hard battle to be thrown into but, I knew Super Earth wouldnt abandon us like so many others thought o7
I don't even remember how I ran Super Helldives back when EATs could take over 2 hits to kill a Bile Titan, but I did, and by god is the new patch such a breath of fresh air. For Democracy!!!
so was i
Me too
It was rough. Been here since day one. The nerfdivers was def rough. I limped with autocannon and that's it lol. We did it tho
Same
Ngl, the speech even tho memetic, still enough to made me shred tears of joy ...
Get this man a super hug.
We need a part 3 now that the illuminate have returned. Were so back, 200k players at its highest last night.
Man... this is beutiful, enough to make grown man cry!
It would be a crime not to subscribe...
So much work poured into that animation, i salute to You! Well done iO
I actually felt a tingle in the old tear canal
I love this community
Its so good. Please never stop making these. The animation, the drawings, music, and story all come together as meaningful.
All helldiver: HELL YEAAAAAA WE ARE SO F**KING BACK BOYS.
This better be a story board, cus I wanna see a full blown animation now!
i could watch a whole season of this 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Has it truly happened? Can i go back?
yes

This brought tears of joy to my eyes,
And I lost my tear ducts on the Creek!
1:26 ok, if quarter master was actually that cute I would consider staying on the S.E.S Harbringer of Liberty for another 60 seconds before kicking Automaton ass.

This work trip i am on happened at the worst possible time. I am missing the surge and still have weeks before I can return to combat.
Have fun out there for me brothers.
- Freedom?
- Freedom.
- Freedom!
- FREEDOM!!!
I remember watching part 1 and thinking I was one of the few thousand people still playing at night. Glad to see many players comeback. Part 2 was great and had a lot of emotion in it.
The end with showing them building fighting and his speech was so perfect
That hug at the end is absolutely gonna be me with my friend when she finally comes back to spread democracy
"I wont join back with super earth"
"but i will help them, only for Freedom"
Glad to have you back brother, if only for a moment then let us savor it and spend the moment spilling oil!
for freedom

I’m gonna just say it

This was so good!
Hope to see more, maybe about the Illuminate?
This shows passion for the art and for the game
I shed a tear at the last scene not gonna lie 🥲
It is only that final guttural gasp fuels the strongest rallying cry. After being pushed to the brink this monumental rise from the ashes is enough to bring a man to tears. I have been desperate to see you come back to this, thank you, I wish I could like this video twice.
The patches brought me back to the game. It’s fun again. 😊
Super earth deserved that raid. The game is now better than fucking ever.
This is incredible. It hits hard. Thank you for making this.
Man I know how much work you put into that and just wanted to say it shows.
Big o7 from the bridge of the Comptroller of Audacity
Hey Brotha, thanks for the vid. I've been serving proudly since launch, suffering through the sony stuff, the nerfs, content drought. But watching this vid made me tear up a bit at the end because i know that you like me appreciate what this game does for us and the sense of community it has created. I appreciate your work, next warbond is on me. 07
wow thank you so much! Hope to see you in the trenches
We are so back indeed. Thank you for including us Chaosdivers. Helldivers were never our enemy, we always hoped to fight with our brothers on the frontlines shoulder-to-shoulder. We're happy that we all recieved incredible weaponry to fight the horrors of the cosmos. Together. Vera Libertas brothers!

@@Slim-Thicc YOUR FACE IS CRINGE
Helldivers is back
I don't negotiate with communist sympathizers and bug lovers, but I am glad you returned to side of liberty. Long live Super Earth
The ,,Down with Super Earth" before the new patch notes is SOOO relatable
This men deserve a milion of beers.
deserve a cup of _Liber-tea_ ✊👨🚀
honestly, above all else, it feels like what it was is that the balancing made us feel like expendable soldiers, like SEAF personnel, like starship troopers.
i thinkw e realised we dont want to play starship troopers, we want to play helldivers. taking the role of halo spartans, titanfall pilots. not ground troops with peashooters
in a way, maybe we could see this as super earth being humbled by its army, by realising that they cannot afford to pull funding away from RnD and maintenence of our power, and to fund subterfuge efforts agains tthe enemies too. they have to accept that we are really as important as they like to say we are.
i disavow the comparison to starship troopers now, for this reason. we are glass cannons, and while we dive into hell, should still be bringing our own form of hell to our enemies.
We're still very much a normal trooper just like in Starship Trooper tho, just dress fancier and can call in off-map support individually. We still don't have built-in shield gen or hard-parkour protocol like those fancy foot and still have to specify the clearance to call them down the field. When the effective timer expired, we're robbed off all those that make us feel special or 'super', now just a man with what he had, that or what you can found on-site.
I think it'd be more accurate that the fund supposedly fuel the armory been corrupted by greedy higher up. The moral in decline make divers either lose the spirit to go out and fight, or outright make them gone insane and turn coat.
Now that the corrupted governor is apprehended and the fund back on track, the divers's weaponry is back to its former glory, the moral is high, feeling that their tools can do something rather than squirting dust, and ever ready to dispense freedom once again, for ever more.
I don't think I belong in an intellectual conversation such as this but all I know is that I can spread democracy better and smile to myself knowing I truly am democracies finest.
Helldivers was originally conceived as an arcade-y experience where the players and enemies are glass cannons. Dive into hell and bring hell kind of thing. So yes, it’s world and satirical theme are inspired off starship troopers and other sci fi, but gameplay wise, it was always intended to be its own thing. Even the second game’s shift from the serious-with-occasional-satirical-humor tone of the first game to a cinematic one can be understood as a necessity of the shift from 2d gameplay to 3d gameplay.
So I wouldn’t say that the developers reimagined the fantasy of helldivers to be more like titan fall or other sci fi, but rather to be more like their original vision.
Personally, as a HD1 vet, I think arrowhead lost their way for a while with the live service model. HD1 and all of their other games handled dlc more traditionally, so I think it’s likely they didn’t know how to handle live service monetization (let alone for such a popular game) and as result succumbed to greedy pressures by making the game harder to elongate playtime for a game that was built around an arcade like experience. But with community pressure, they’ve found their way back to their roots, and now the game feels more like HD1 than ever before
i guess you all make good points here. i dont personally think we are run-of-the-mill, thats the SEAF. but i do agree that we arent "special forces" like spartans or pilots. i think its a sort of middle ground that's like, SEAF who were given permission to make their own decisions (we direct an entire ship of frozen souls to war) and to select their mission equipment and have strategem access.
SEAF absolutely do NOT get to make such decisions.
Still, have we considered that maybe we are power-scaling the wrong way? We can choose to bring in advanced movement, defence, and support, and that is objectively a role usually reserved for commanders or elites.
I think rather than looking at it from traditional roles, maybe the idea is just that the style of scifi that superearth uses does not really allow for that kind of advanced stuff, and instead we are special forces simply because we are allowed to make those decisions, to call in strategems, and to bring hell.
the power fantasy is of a different flavour compared to those other games, and is relatively muted and grounded. but it is still power beyond a regular soldier, ya get me? That's how i feel
@@emilsingapurcan8054 yes! This is exactly the kind of arcade like glass cannon premise of the game I was referring. Stratagems and the privilege of using them lie at the heart of the elite status of the helldiver. Both games present their training as satirically quick and unrigorous. They are elite simply because of the (hilariously expensive) firepower they are given
I miss my old capes from helldivers 1, I miss my victory set....
Things have definitely changed!
I mean, I was in the beginning, went through the nerfs and the patches... Take a month long hiatus, and come back to new bug and bot variants, buffed weapons, and the game went up THOUSANDS in player count daily, and remains steady.
I mean, the nerfs made it go from around 50k down to a 25k average. Then the patches came in, the buffs, new enemies, and it went up slowly, and now it's staying back at 50k most days, and about 20k when the NA timezones are at night.
Still miss the days of 300k+ average though. Those were the golden days. The PSN restrictions definitely killed off 100k+ players from around the globe.
"In the midst of our darkest its so joever we fought and found an indomitable We are so back shining through the night" John S(Super) Helldiver
100 000 concurrent players...
I haven't seen that number for so long 🥲
100,000!? What are you standing around for we must join are brothers in rightous liberation
I followed the game since it's release, but sadly didn't own a PC or PS5 to play it. Now I've finally bought a PC 3 weeks ago and HD2 was the first game I played on it and I joined exactly at the right time just after the patch. It's so great to see the community care about the game and the devs understanding the community and fixing the issues. Thank you all and thank you Arrowhead!
This had more heart put into it, than any Hollywood crap I've seen in years.
I may have leaned toward the darkside for a time, but my heart was always with my men. I never struck down a fellow diver in "protest." I did not purposefully lose missions. I only ever stuck to the bug side, which I still kind of do. The difference is now, it's not out of revenge. When the time comes, I shall strike down humanity's metallic nemises. But for now, the bugs require a culling of their own. May we fight together when the bugs are contained, and the gloom has finally faded.
Actually made me tear up, amazing work
Never considered myself a chaosdiver, but I would gladly shake their hands. Glad the community is coming back. Welcome to the new front! 🦅
this is literally amazing bro
Amazing. Have a nice Liberty Day.
brought a tear to my eye, lets drop boys
Bless those who fight the Automatons, those are the real men and women who make a difference
This is oddly uplifting, im not gonna say why or what events made it so, but thank you, genuinely.
this is so beautiful, you are very talented
Never forget. Our brothers and sisters stand with us.
glorious democracy at it's finest.
(very good animation btw!!)
May freedom guide our step.
Been here from Day 1 and never stop fighting for Freedom.
Happy Liberty day to all my Brother and Sisters HELLDIVERS!
My first deployment was day 17, I was a foolhardy cadet who was constantly blowing himself up for democracy. I lost so many brothers in arms in this war, have seen us triumph, and crawl away from defeat. Now at level 63 I am filled with pride to guild the next generation of Helldivers on the DSS and turn them truly into Democracy's finest. On a personal note, you got any war stories from the past you would like to share?
That... that was beautiful! *tear drops*
This is the best animatic I've seen in a while.
Lol. This video goes super hard. Nice work, you summed it up.
Awesome. This makes me feel wholesome!
You don't know how done we had to be to be this back!
Forward brothers!
Stand as one. And when time comes, even more of our fellow divers will emerge from beyond PSN embargo.
Freedom will prevail. Always!
High Command and Brasch finally listened ✊
If Arrowhead ever does big in-game event cutscenes or something, stuff like receiving back-up in the style of 0:53 would be gloriously democratic. As we can see from Martechi's shorts, there's an insane amount of untapped potential in fleet stuff.
Thx to you for making this video and bringing helldivers back as much as you could ❤🔥
He didn’t give them more bananas. This is truly the greatest betrayal since Istvann III
Stop it! You made me cry 🥹🥹
The malevon Creekers: we’ve been through worse times, hunker down and wait for liberty to bless us.
Chaos divers: give up! What do you think buffs are gonna fall right out of the sky!?
Eagle-1:we’re falling out of the sky! Quick drop the buffs!
*buff box dropped*
Creeker: praise democracy *victory screech*
In the Immortal words of Bender Bending Rodriguez
We're back baby
It's honestly nice that it's fun again. Before, our team was bitter and frustrated, nobody wanted to fight anymore. Some of us returned to HD1 and others never came back. But now more and more of us are logging back on, having fun, trying new builds, and bringing democracy to the damned bugs and bots.
It's good to be back
“Our Imperium is besieged, across a thousand worlds we fight for our survival. Those who tear humanity apart are legion( Chaos legion, Automaton legions) our forces are few, our enemies are many and in our darkest hour a spiteful galaxy brings forth forgotten evils( New enemies, illuminate)as the galaxy burns we are the last bulwark against the terror. While we draw breath we will fight”
-a very patriotic human being.
It’s good to see that despite all the setbacks.
We’re able to push back our enemies.
I dont know why but every time I watch this I get goosebumps nicely done!
Its great to be back and Free!
It’s enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s ok. You go right ahead tear.
The future is looking bright, welcome back to the front Helldiver.
Brothers!!! The time to help the helldivers is now!!!!
The overwhelmingly masculine urge to hug your commander and weep like a boy.
The new warbond will make me feel like an Imperial Guard Commissar. I’m so stoked for it. These new patches are well needed
It's enough to make a grown man cry
We all dive with some sort of purpose. Never forget why you fight. Whether it be to sate your bloodlust for the enemies of freedom, or your more like me, someone who is willing to lay down their life to ensure their compatriots get back alive. Forgetting your reason for fighting leads to cracks in the bond we all share as brothers and sisters in arms.
WE'RE SO F#@$ING BACK, MAY LIBERTY GUIDES YOUR PATH!
I don't remember when I've ever had a more fun and emotional year with a game both inside outside playtime.
It started as a comedy, but turned into an epic
The character development is crazy💜
absolute cinema
This animation speaks to my soul.
The animation is peak 🔥🔥🔥
GLORY TO SUPER EARTH AND THE NEW PATCH NOTES 🗣🗣🗣
So back? The helldivers never left!
Phew. Good thing we recovered from it. Lets try not to repeat these events.
I had goosebumps the whole time, fookin awesome
I felt that "we are so back" deap in my heart
IT'S PEAK
Beautiful work, love the story telling and art style 😊
I will do everything if you gave me enough freedom & democracy
